It depends on the board, Digi makes several different 8-port boards.
The FAQ and handbook sections are for the dumb boards.  I've got
several Pc/8e's here working using the dgb driver, I've got a line
like:

device          dgb0    at isa? port 0x200 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz ? tty

in my config file, then run `cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV ttyD0 cuaD0'

the card has a 78 pin connector on the back, 4 Zilog 8230's and
some form of an 80186 on it.  Of course I could be way off too.

I've heard mixed reports of dual 8-ports.  I think the 16-ports have
different enough hardware that a new driver is needed, at least different
firmware :(
